The brand that created the iconic Chuck Taylor shoes is suing a company in Jamaica Plain alleging they copied the design.
Converse has filed a lawsuit against Autonomie Project, based in Jamaica Plain, for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, trademark dilution, and unfair business practices, according to Boston Magazine.
“The 18-page lawsuit claims that the Autonomie Project, which produces their own version of the popular Chuck Taylor shoe design, is stepping on the company’s trade-mark toes,” Steve Annear, reporter for Boston Magazine, writes.
